When daylight first entered the room, Dongmei breathed a sigh of relief first. She caught a glimpse of the old lady who came in later, and immediately cried to Xie Ruzhuo, "Miss, please spare me, I really have nothing." Did it.”
As she spoke, she secretly grabbed a handful of her right arm. After the pain, Dongmei cried even more miserably.
Seeing that Dongmei was crying in an incomprehensible manner, Mrs. Ji couldn't help but frown and said, "Fourth girl, what's going on?"
Xie Ruzhuo saluted and said, "Grandma, this slave colluded with outsiders to frame me, and I discovered it. Do you think I should deal with it?"
"Is there such a thing?" When Ji heard this, she immediately said with a cold expression, "Anyone who colludes with outsiders to frame the master will be beaten out with a stick."
However, Ms. Qiao noticed that Xie Ruzhuo's face was a little pale. Thinking that she fell into the water yesterday, she immediately walked to Xie Ruzhuo and said in surprise, "Zhuo'er, why are your hands so cold? Jiangzhu, what are you still doing? Get some clothes for your master!"
Jiang Zhu hurriedly responded and went to put on Xie Ruzhuo's coat, but Mrs. Lu walked up to Dongmei, rolled up her sleeves, and shouted, "Oh, why is this little girl covered with bruises on her arms?" ?”
Just now, Dongmei pulled up her sleeves when no one was paying attention, and the sharp-eyed Mr. Lu happened to notice the clue. When she shouted, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Looking over, several people took a breath. I saw several marks on Dongmei's arm where someone had pinched her. It looked like fresh injuries, and the force was undoubtedly caused by a woman.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Dongmei shrank. She couldn't help but look at Xie Ruzhuo. Seeing that the latter was still expressionless, Dongmei couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in her heart, but her face became more and more frightened. .
Her series of expressions caught the eyes of everyone without reservation. Everyone in the wealthy family was quite dirty. To be honest, some of the people present were not necessarily completely clean. Seeing Dongmei's appearance at this moment, Mrs. Lu became more and more sure of her thoughts and sighed, "I'm afraid this girl's injuries were caused by someone beating her. Hey, I always say Rulan, you have to be considerate of your servants. After all, They are all raised by their mother and father, if we don’t care, there will always be someone who will, right?”
Seeing that Mrs. Lu said that Xie Ruzhuo had abused her servant, Mrs. Qiao immediately became unhappy, "Third brother and sister, please be careful when speaking. Isn't it too rude of you to throw dirty water on your niece?"
Just as Lu was about to retort, Xie Rulan's soft voice came, "Can you tell me how you got the injury? Don't be afraid, I'll make the decision for you."
Her voice is soft and soft, making those who hear it feel like they are bathed in the spring breeze. But who is Dongmei? The excitement and gloating hidden in her eyes can be seen at a glance. Dongmei immediately followed Xie Rulan's words and said, "I dare not say this. I am a slave with a death contract. I am destined to have no love from my parents in this life. It is okay to suffer a little grievance on weekdays. Miss feels that I am useless now. This is my slave." Take your life."
Dongmei's voice was deliberately weak when she spoke, and it also carried a hint of life and death that made it difficult not to think too much.
Seeing this, Ji's already wrinkled brows furrowed even more, "The Xie family does not allow slaves to bully their masters, but they also do not allow masters to abuse their servants. Tell me exactly what is going on!"
Seeing Ji's words, Dongmei hesitated for a long time. Seeing that Xie Ruzhuo still looked calm, she immediately dropped a bombshell, "This slave is going to die anyway, and I don't want to go to the underworld with my secret. The slave has no choice but to dare to reveal the secret of the young lady! The young lady had a private meeting with the man of her dreams, but the servant discovered it. In order to keep the secret, the young lady wanted to get rid of me!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!
the other side.
It was just getting dark when Xiao Xinning was pulled out from the warm quilt. She opened her eyes hazy with mist and rain, and it took her a long time to see the person in front of her clearly through the tears.
"Third brother?"
When Xiao Junxi saw that she was awake, she just said, "Get up and follow me out." Then she went to the outer room.
Xiao Xinning lamented, but did not dare to disobey the order. She could only whine in the palace while asking the palace servants to help her dress up as quickly as possible.
Even so, after some tidying up, the sun was already high in the sky.
The food in the outer room was already set. Xiao Xinning had just stood up, but before she was over her sleepiness, Xiao Junxi kept staring at her again, and Xiao Xinning lost her appetite even more. She ate two pearl buns and drank a few mouthfuls of porridge. Then she dropped the spoon in her hand and asked solemnly, "Third brother, what do you want to do here so early in the morning?"
After all, pick yourself up and have a destination.
Xiao Junxi coughed lightly and said, "Didn't Miss Xie get injured at your place yesterday? It wouldn't be appropriate for you not to go take a look."
What I said is just a slap in the face! Xiao Xinning understood immediately. She was angry in her heart, but she dared not say anything on her face. "I was injured, so the imperial doctor has gone. Besides, I am a princess, so it is not good to leave the palace all the time."
"Fengweiqin."
"But it doesn't matter if you go out once in a while! Besides, the daughter-in-law of the Xie family was injured here. If I don't go and visit her, wouldn't I be chilling the hearts of the courtiers?"
Xiao Xinning's eyes suddenly stopped feeling sleepy, staring at Xiao Junxi as brightly as stars. The Phoenix Tail Qin is a top-notch musical instrument. After Xiao Junxi found it a few days ago, she struggled to come over for a long time. Today there is a ready-made bargain offered to me, why wouldn’t she want it!
Hearing this, Xiao Junxi glanced at her with a half-smile, then stood up and said, "Let's go."
The carriage rumbled all the way, but it didn't take long before it arrived at Xie's house. As soon as the car stopped at the main entrance, a magnificent carriage stopped at the same time.
Seeing the people getting off the carriage, Xiao Xinning was stunned. "Second brother, why are you here?" As he said this, Xiao Xinning subconsciously grabbed Xiao Junxi's sleeve.
Growing up, Xiao Xinning was most afraid of Xiao Junhan. Although the other party always smiled at him, Xiao Xinning still couldn't help but think of the scene he saw when he was young.
At that time, she sneaked out of her bedroom to play, but unexpectedly saw Xiao Junhan squeezing the neck of a young eunuch. Xiao Junhan's back was turned to her, so he couldn't see his expression. But Xiao Xinning clearly remembered that the little eunuch was strangled tightly by the neck, his face turned red from holding back, his eyes were so wide that they seemed to fall out, and finally his whole body fell softly to the ground.
Xiao Xinning didn't know how she returned to the palace, but after that, she had nightmares for many nights. When she saw Xiao Junhan again, she couldn't help but want to escape.
Feeling the trembling of Xiao Xinning's fingertips, Xiao Junxi grabbed her hand comfortingly, and then said with a smile, "Second brother, you are here too."
Seeing the two people asking questions, Xiao Junhan put away his doubts and smiled helplessly, "Ruzhuo fell into the water, let me take a look. You also know that that girl is too clingy to me."
In fact, Xiao Junhan is here to make amends today. Shen Jingci's plan yesterday was to use the information in his hands to lure Xie Ruzhuo to Ci'an Palace, and then let Xiao Junhan go there. In this way, when Xiao Junyi became angry and wanted to kill Xie Ruzhuo, he would rush over and sell a favor to save Xie Ruzhuo.
In this way, she saved her life by herself, and Xie Ruzhuo will definitely be completely loyal to him. Xiao Junhan knew how important this legitimate daughter was to the Xie family. At that time, Master Huicheng personally declared that this daughter was Feng Xing's destiny, and that she would be the mother of the world in the future! After Xie Ruzhuo marries herself, and with the help of the Xie family, wouldn't the world be within easy reach
However, Xiao Junhan did not expect that Shen Jingci would mess up such a trivial matter! He came here in such a hurry today just to save his image in Xie Ruzhuo's mind.
The news that Xie Ruzhuo was obsessed with the second prince was no longer news. After all, if a woman who chases after the second prince all day long says that she has no thoughts about him, no one would believe it.
Hearing this, Xiao Junxi's expression darkened slightly, but she smiled calmly and said, "So that's the case, that's a coincidence."
"Are you here?" Xiao Junhan looked at Xiao Junxi and Xiao Junxi, and began to doubt in his heart. After all, the help of the Xie family was enough to tilt the balance of his father's favor, so Xiao Junhan was extremely concerned about whether the piece of fat that was about to reach his mouth would be taken away by others.
Xiao Xinning said first, "I came to see Xie Ruzhuo too. Yesterday, I just asked her to play in my palace, but her wound opened. I feel very sorry, so I came here to see her today."
Over the years, Xiao Xinning had already developed the skill of keeping a straight face in front of Xiao Junhan, and now he was extremely smooth when telling lies.
Xiao Junxi smiled fondly and said, "No, this girl came to pester me early in the morning, insisting that I take her out of the palace." Xiao Junxi's brother who looked doting on his sister was also completely dismissed Xiao Junhan's last doubt was eliminated.
"That's a coincidence. In that case, let's go in together." As long as Xiao Junxi doesn't compete with him, he is willing to be a gentle and polite brother. After all, he is the eldest son of his father.
Xie Shenyan had already come out when the concierge announced. When he saw the three people, he hurriedly saluted and invited them in.
Xie Shenyan had just left court and was still unaware of what happened in Xie Ruzhuo's courtyard. When he learned the purpose of the three people's visit, he immediately led the way to Tingfeng Courtyard.
"If love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night?"
Ji read the poem on the peach blossom note once, then immediately slapped the peach blossom note on the table and angrily shouted, "Zhuo'er, tell yourself what's going on!"
When Dongmei told the news just now, Ji didn't believe it, but Dongmei immediately told who the person was. After bringing the boy named Li Ding, Dongmei identified him instantly.
When Li Ding learned that the matter was exposed, he knelt on the ground and said sincerely, "My servant and Miss Fourth are sincere, please let me do it!" Not only that, Li Ding also took out a peach blossom note with a peach blossom note on it. This is the poem I wrote.
Xie Ruzhuo had accompanied Ji to copy Buddhist scriptures for a period of time, and Ji was very familiar with Xie Ruzhuo's handwriting. When she saw the font on it, she recognized it immediately and became furious.
When Xie Shenyan accompanied others to Tingfeng Courtyard, he happened to hear the words, "Zhuo'er, tell yourself what is going on!"
Seeing the mess inside, Xie Shenyan had a bad intuition. Just when he was about to speak out, he saw that the second prince had preceded him and walked into the courtyard in a few steps. He asked warmly, "What happened?"
